$750-900 build

My friend wants me to help him select parts for a pc. He already has a monitor (1336x768), keyboard, mouse, speakers, and mousepad. He needs it for gaming and web browsing. The games he wants to play are Diablo 3 and Crysis 2 (and a lot of OLD games like CSS). I am biased to Intel/Nvidia so please keep that in mind. So my question is, does anyone have a good idea for the configuration ? (I will also need to buy Win 7 so that will take around $100 from the budget)

Pretty good looking but I'm thinking about going with a Hyper 212+ for cooling. He won't overclock and that gets the price down too.

The purpose of the build suggestion is just that a suggestion and you can make any changes that you see fit. Also if someone else posts a build you can mix builds and take the best from both to come up with what you want. It always helps to have a suggested build because then you have something to work with.
One suggestion is that if you are able to get items for less either through a different site or you live near a Micro-Center then you can always add to the video card to get a better card.

Yea and thanks BTW... No I don't live near one so I usually go with Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Amazon for anything related to computers.

Thanks all! I am going with inzone's build (but going to use a Hyper 212+ instead).
